I believe Shoemaker said that Spectacular Bid was the best he had ever ridden. Anyway, I agree with the posters who agree that it's very difficult, if not downright impossible to "prove" that 1 horse is better than another, unless they face the same horses. Even then, there are still fans who will argue for their favorite (like some Alydar fans might try to explain or excuse each of his loses to Affirmed). I think that we are lucky to see such great horses run. Whether Bernardini is going to be included in that select category depends on his connections. He seems to be special, but I would withhold annointing him until he wins against larger fields, meets and defeats opponents who challenge him, and sets records doing so.
By the way, my personal favorite is Secretariat.
